Hotel was ok. Good location if you want to be in downtown. Negatives are as follows: 1 - Upon check in we were directed straight to the concierge who tried to sell us a 90 minute talk the next day for a timeshare to Wyndham resorts. Not a great start. 2 - The parking. They don’t tell you that it is only valet parking available at approx. £50 per night (depending on the exchange rate). No self parking option is available. The issue isn’t necessarily the price, which is only £10 more than parking in the city) its the fact that they 1) don’t tell you before hand. I think the cost should be added to the room rate so it’s not a hidden charge, but then people may not stay because they’d be more expensive than other hotels. I felt duped. 3 - Tea and coffee are in the room in day 1, but they aren’t replenished during the stay. 4 - Our room was not made up and the sheets weren’t changed during our 3 night trip. As I say at the start, best thing is the hotels location if you want to be in downtown. It’s a 40 minute walk to pier 39, but it’s a safe easy walk.

Large spacious rooms with all the required amenities. The staff could have been more friendly (although the lady on the Club level was extremely helpful, friendly and kind). We had certain issues at the hotel and the manager’s resolution of offering $100 towards the bill at the expensive hotel restaurant was not adequate. The hotel is in a great location but note that the guests staying at the hotel were mainly elders.

Location was good, nice and spacious room, concierge was a bit overmotivated signing us in a vacation home presentation (which was definately nothing we were looking and asking for) in order to get free breakfast...

Hotelli erinomaisella sijainnilla. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Huoneet eivät ihan uusinta uutta. Ainoa miinus oli (9 krs) yksinkertaiset ikkunat ja kova liikenteen meteli yöt läpeensä. Suosittelen korvatulppia herkkäunisimmille.
